AC had trouble in one of the rooms. Asked for it to be fixed and 2 days later still nothing so asked again and they finally got it working. WiFi didn’t work in our room either but it would work if we walked out the front door…. Power went out when it rained several times but only stayed out momentarily. The grounds were nice and the staff friendly but we had trouble with our rooms AC and wifi so we were not too happy but maybe our experience was not typical. It seemed like it should have been nice, so maybe we just had bad luck. The included breakfast was pretty terrible though if I’m being honest. ;)

The swimming pool hours are a bit inconvenient (closed at 7:00 pm) usually closing time at other hotels is 10:00 pm. Would have been nice to enjoy it, bur not possible with their schedule.

Our casita is near the pool, lovely, spacious, clean, the linen, towels and bath toiletries are superb but you can hear the loud street traffic. Pool is nice with restrooms and outdoor showers.

Would highly recommend this hotel. Great staff and service (a special shoutout to Andres at the restaurant)! A beautiful garden, big room and bathroom, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and luxurious toiletries were the highlights of our experience at La Foresta. Housekeeping did a great job as the rooms were spotless. The toiletries were so good that I bought them to bring home.

It is a nature resort. Since the property is at the edge of the rainforest and it has more acreage of wilderness behind it, it is excellent choice if you like to see birds and animals in nature. We saw more animals at the property than we did at the Manual Antonio Park. We saw monkeys, macaws, iguanas, butterflies, and several different types of smaller birds at the property. We also hiked in the hiking trails in the woods behind the property.

The downside of this location is that you cannot walk to the city. One more thing - if you are sensitive to noise, get a room towards the back of the property; otherwise, you can hear the roaring sound of traffic as the hotel is near a road. At night, noise can be a big issue.

The hotel garden is beautiful & so is the pool. Our room was on the end closer to the main road so car/semi truck noise can be heard. The lady at the front desk (not super friendly) said there was no other room available. Rebecca, at the restaurant, was so super friendly & kind!

This was one of the best resorts we have ever stayed at. The staff and service were amazing. Renaldi, Rebecca and Evaline as well as others who we didn’t get their names went above and beyond in making our stay so wonderful. Also the grounds were immaculate and the rooms were large and comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good, but we purchased lunch and dinner and both of those were so good. My favorite part was all the iguanas during the day hanging around and all the geckos at night keeping insects away. If we ever return to Quepos, Costa Rica we would definitely stay at this amazing resort.

This hotel was excellent. It was clean, staff was friendly and the setting swas beautiful. The pool was on the small side & the water was hot but still we were in it every day. There is pool service for drinks & food which was perfect for just relaxing after a day of play. Breakfast was Costa Rican style food with buffet somedays & order on the menu others. There is also a nature trail on the back side of the property where we were able to walk. Saw so many squirrel moneys, birds & other creatures.

For dinner there is a restaurant on site but we were also able to walk a short distance to a soda & another restaurant that was delicious.

I would highly recommend staying here.

As others have mentioned, there is noise from the road and I had wished there wasn’t so much noise from the weed wicker’s and blowers. However, our stay was very nice, the housekeepers did an amazing job as did many other workers on property. We did have an issue with the free shuttle on one occasion- we were dropped off at the beach and we’re assured that we would be picked up- we were not, we waited and called, after being stranded for 1.5 hours we had a taxi return us to the property. This was disappointing, as we could have taken our rented vehicle paid the parking fee and would have came out ahead. Would I stay here again, most likely - despite the noise and being stranded.

This spot gets 5 stars due to their staff. Wow, everyone was so kind and helpful. We had all of our birding gear with us and would bird watch on the property. Often, staff would come up to us to make sure we knew about a birding spot nearby. The breakfast was tasty too!
Other things we appreciated about this property:
The number of hangers they provided.
How large the bathroom was
They were the only hotel we stayed at that had shampoo and conditioner!
Plenty of towels

Some improvements we would love to see:
Stronger water pressure
Adding Acopian BirdSaver curtains or the window decals to prevent bird collisions with the windows. We had a few birds collide with the windows and that is very dangerous for them
More foliage. I know this part is knit picky, but I felt like the property was too manicured. I thought we would have a little bit more of a rainforest around us.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Excellent and tasty food options, definitely recommend the watermelon gazpacho and ceviche. Our room was back toward the pool and restaurant area so road noise was not an issue as mentioned in other reviews. The trail behind the property was really neat and we got to see some capuchin monkeys and a yellow headed caracara. Unfortunately, the zip lines were closed for maintenance the day we were there which was a bummer but good to know they check it weekly.

Wonderful facility, great map, beautiful property. The main road nearby is quite noisy. The private nature reserve needs better maps, so you know how long you will need to complete each trail.

I would recommend this property to anyone traveling in the area. (We went to the National Park and had a rental car). The most gorgeous surroundings, great breakfast, clean pool, spotless room, attentive and friendly staff. I would not hesitate to send my friends, family and hopefully I can come back one day. Thank you for everything.

We spent 3 nights at La Foresta at the end of our vacation. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The pool is excellent! We spent hours in the trails behind the hotel and never saw another person. It was a unique opportunity, and we enjoyed it. We saw the most animals and birds just sitting on the patio. The place is so full of life!!

The downside is the noise. Not only from the highway, but the leaf blower that was running every morning. We hated that leaf blower!!
Food at the bar was pretty good, but the restaurant was not great.
Overall, the resort is gorgeous, and we enjoyed our time there.

The property is big and has an onsite forest trail which is nice but the downside is that there is no entertainment at all, at night you have to drive or a take a taxi to town as there is nothing around and they don't do anything in the hotel itself, the breakfast was also very basic and not much options
The rooms are spacious and nice though and the hotel is well maintained

There were a number of issues with this property from worst to least worse:
1) The property added an extra unrecognized and hefty charge to my card a few days after I left. Still in dispute and still no explanation (after 2 months).
2) The property is near a busy highway and the windows aren’t noise insulated. The room was quite noisy at night. I did go out and get ear plugs.
3) the staff don’t man the front desk. They weren’t there when I checked in or when I checked out. In both cases I had to wait 30 minutes. When I left to get ear plugs for the noise I also had to wait 30 minutes for the front desk to open the gate.

They list as a rainforest, however, it is right on the road. You can hear the traffic all night long. We stayed in a suite right at the end of the hotel and we heard the vehicles all night. They hotel is clean and comfortable, however they really should let you know in advanced that they are right on the highway.

We stayed at La Foresta for 3 days in Casita. We really loved the place and enjoyed a lot. The place is surrounded by the nature, they have their own walking trails in the forest behind the hotel and a beautiful and very well tended garden on the property. The swimming pool was great and we spent a lot of time just chilling out by the pool. I am vegetarian and I appreciated that they had a lot of vegetarian options on the menu. But the highlight of this place is the staff. They all are amazing, super nice and helpful. In particular Evelyn at the reception desk who went out of her way to assist us with everything we asked for. Thank you

One of the best in this price range

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Foresta Nature Resort. Large, clean, \"like new\" rooms with well-functioning A/C. Spacious bathroom with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. A great feature is the ceiling fan in the bathroom, coupled with a sliding, screened window adjacent to the shower. Keeps the air dry and fresh -- nice! The TV was not working when we first arrived, but Sandy (extremely nice and helpful) had someone come and take care of it immediately. The BEST feature was the huge, covered front porch with 2 comfy rocking chairs. Great for watching the goings on in the gardens (birds, bats, butterflies, iguanas, etc).
Breakfast is included, which is always appreciated, especially when a lot of hotels charge from $5 to $8 per person. It was about the same as most of our hotel breakfasts in Costa Rica -- OK, but nothing to write home about. Service was excellent.
The grounds are beautiful with some huge, old trees and a large variety of plantings, many of which attract butterflies. While the place is right near the main road, the traffic noise did not bother me. It really tapers off after dark and I really didn't notice it -- and I am a very light sleeper.
Most of the hotels that we stayed in during our 2 week trip were in this price range ($100 per night, give or take, after all of the fees and taxes are included). While all of them had their pros and cons, this was probably the best one, overall.

This was our favorite hotel during our weeklong stay in various parts of Costa Rica. Our room faced a garden that were frequently visited by iguanas and butterflies. Breakfast was wonderful. One morning it was a buffet because the hotel was quite busy, and the next day was tableservice which was equally as amazing. They even have walking trails that let you explore the nearby forest area. We loved our stay here because the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. If we are ever in Quepos again, we are definitely staying here.

The grounds are incredible. Lots of wildlife (birds, butterflies, lizards, etc) but nothing bothers you, sono need to worry. The room is well AC’d, clean, and spacious. Food was delicious at the restaurant, and the pool was pristine - definitely my favorite part of the stay. They do also have on-site attractions like trails, bridges, and zip lining (I believe), so it’s ultra accommodating.

We were not happy with this resort. It’s not even fair that they call it “resort” as they have nothing else but swimming pool. On site trail was closed during our stay and guest service didn’t even sorry for it. Rudest stuff.

The room has such bad sense and has no taste anywhere. Just with only necessary furniture and light is so blight white like hospital.

No coffee, tea nor water even cups/glasses in the room. You have to go buy at the bar or wait until breakfast. However coffee at restaurant is so bad that I couldn’t even drink it after first half.

Food at restaurant is also bad and service is slow. Breakfast is not great either. Only 5 kinds with cereals and staled bread.

Loud because hotel is on the main road.

WiFi so slow. You won’t have WiFi around restaurant pool area. Only in room.

Can’t stop writing but I’d advise to avoid this hotel if you travel from overseas. You probably won’t be happy with it. Evidently most of the guests were somehow from local. If you decided to stay here you have to think that it will be like staying at holiday inn. Instead, Search near by ocean hotels only 10min east and the hotels there are so much nicer and unique, surely have better service. You will have many nice restaurants choices as well.

An excellent stay--check the Google Maps Address!

My wife and I had an excellent stay at this location overall. Initially, we typed the address into Google Maps and it said the location was an hour and a half outisde of Quepos. We could not find any other resort with that name within the town. We typed the exact name of the resort and it sent us down dirt roads filled with potholes. We wasted three hours and gas trying to find the resort. We went back to town and connected to WIFI to call the property. They said it was only 7 minutes from town. The Google Maps location was incorrect. We were told that we have to type \"hotel\" and not \"resort\" even though thier name is \"resort.\" I imagine this happens all the time. We expressed our concerns to Alfredo, and he did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable. The waiter that attended to us was also very hospitable. The property is very nice with excellent service. Administration needs to change its name to \"hotel\" or contact Google directly. The majority of guests use Google Maps to find locations.

Very attractive and landscaped property. Everything is immaculately clean. Service was excellent. Only disappointment for me was the lack of a coffee maker in the room. Breakfast was good, but quality of the coffee was very poor. Unusual in Costa Rica to run into bad coffee. Had to go the the bakery in the morning offsite to get coffee.
